35mm Night Photography Tips

July 3rd, 2011 by admin

35mm night photography tips
I need a few pointers...?

I'm just starting night photography and I'm using a Fujica ST705 Manual SLR with a standard 55mm lens, a 75-260mm lens and a 35mm lens. (As well as a Nikon D90 but I'm hoping to use a Manual SLR for the most part).

Is this an okay camera to use? What films would you recommend?

Any other tips you've picked up would also be useful, I'm eager to capture good images, I'm just a bit of a newbie.

Thanks in advance :)

Main difference between shooting film & digital with longish exposures (greater than 1 second) is that you get reciprocity failure with film (not with digital). When you buy film, check whether there is any long exposure compensation chart on the film data sheet, if not its usually available on the manufacturer's website. It means that your night exposures will be a lot longer than you'd calculate for digital.
